Spend Happy Trump


Recommended Posts

 

Obviously, the people blaming trump for government spending are confused.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamandrzejewski/2019/06/28/trumps-leaner-white-house-2019-payroll-has-already-saved-taxpayers-20-million/#4fbe3937386d

Trump’s White House payroll has been a leading indicator of his commitment to “do more, with less.” In the first few weeks of his presidency, Trump issued an order mandating an executive agency hiring freeze. Trump asked his agency heads to “seek efficient use of existing personnel and funds to improve public services…”

Leading by example, Trump has already saved taxpayers nearly $20 million and projected four-year savings could easily top $22 million. In 2017, our auditors at OpenTheBooks.com forecasted a $22 million four-year savings.

The payroll discounts come from Trump’s refusal to take a salary, as well as big reductions in other areas including the absence of czars, expensive “fellows,” and spending on First Lady of The United States (FLOTUS) staff.

Who put this budget on his desk? At least blame everybody guilty.  Amash is a selective hack just like the rest of them. 

Quiet, we need to blame trump.  If you don't you are defending him.  Lets not worry about the fucking dipshits who have been in DC since the 80's.  You know, the same ones that are trying to get trump out of office.

Trump still keeps signing them. if he wants to get credit for the economy etc he also gets to take the blame for allowing this to continue.  Trump knows nothing about taking responsibility for the bad though and his supporters clearly don't care that he spends more recklessly than obama did even though they cried like bitches for 8 years about Obies spending (even when the pubs had control).

I am all for cutting the spending.  Cut it across the board 30%.  I believe that is a pipe dream with the current batch of DC politicians.

If you really think that’s defending him then there’s nothing here that can help you. 

Well up until this administration blame for deficits on these boards was always laid 100% at the feet of the president who presided over them.

Because he only blames Trump? :lol:

You can’t take one tweet and try to say he’s not holding others responsible as well

There is one person with the power to veto this spending

And he does nothing but sign his name and sugarcoat it

Fuck anyone who claims to care about spending but deflects from that fact

Which is stupid because Congress makes budgets, presidents can only sign or veto them.

I don’t think Trump cares about spending whatsoever.

Exactly....the president can single handedly veto them

Sole discretion and absolute power to stop it
